Chapter 39: The Battle of Yanggu (2)

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, the sun never set on the barracks, the lights of the barracks were brilliant, the sound of sawing and percussion was constant, and craftsmen were building all kinds of siege equipment all night long.

Gangtian Chi led the generals to patrol the camp and supervise the construction. The slightest slackness of the craftsmen was whipped by the overseers.

"Looking for death?! Hurry up, delay the deadline, and be careful of your life! ”

"Ouch! Ouch! Got it! Got it! ”

Some of the craftsmen did not build according to the drawings, deliberately did their hands and feet, and when they were discovered, they were beaten again.

"Ouch! Spare my life, Master Jun, I'm so tired, my brain can't turn around, it's not intentional, Master Jun! ”

"If you make another mistake, you won't be spared!"

"Thank you, thank you."

Gangtian Chi looked at the built siege tower, personally drilled into it, climbed to the top, looked at Yanggu Pass, and sure enough, the vision was very good, and he was very satisfied.

Inside Xiangyang Pass, the lights are all extinguished, and there is no sign of movement outside the city. Four groups of men and horses, each of four or five thousand people, led by Ouyang Zhong, Hua Mantian, Xiang Wangshan, and Xing Buyuan, were all Xuanjia fast horses, with horse's mouth and horseshoe cloth, waiting nervously at the two city gates.

"Kaesong!" The guard whispered a soft order to the gates to be guarded.

The guards quickly lowered the drawbridge—the stone bridge at Yanggu Pass, which was dismantled before the sun set and replaced with a drawbridge—to open the gates. The soldiers took advantage of the darkness and rushed out of the city. After all the men and horses were out of the city, the guards quickly raised the drawbridge. Thousands of archers lay in ambush at the head of the city.

After Ouyang Zhong left the city with thousands of soldiers and horses, he separated from the rest of the men and horses and hid in the night to ambush. The other military horses shouted, divided into three ways, like three sharp arrows, and quickly rushed towards the camp of the Sunset Army, shooting rockets into the camp as they rushed.

"What's the situation?"

"The enemy is coming!"

"How many? Where did it come from? ”

"I don't know!"

"The spies don't know what to eat, they don't know anything, hurry up and defend! Organize fire extinguishing! ”

Gangtian Chi was checking the construction of siege equipment when he suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing, and hurriedly commanded his entourage to organize forces to counterattack.

"You're very fat! Dare to come and rob the camp! The barbarian stone was furious, picked up his mace and rushed towards the Yanggu Pass army.

The other soldiers escorted Gangtian Chi and Luoying Pingdong to retreat to the Chinese army camp. Jia Baoju and Jia Baokui ordered the craftsmen and equipment to be protected, and they also went with Gangtian Chi.

The sun never sets on the soldiers and many brave generals, although the incident happened suddenly, but they were not panicked, and in a moment they organized an effective force and killed the attacking Yangguguan soldiers.

The flowers are like a tiger out of the cage, heroic and abnormal, waving the green dragon body stick, fighting with the wild stone, the stick is back and forth, and the fight is equal.

That Xing Buyuan and Wangshan are like loaches, slippery and not slippery, putting rockets everywhere, leaving when they encounter the enemy, not touching at all, just driving the army that the sun never sets.

Those craftsmen saw that the killing was in full swing elsewhere, and secretly rejoiced. As soon as they approached the construction site, they shot rockets, poured out oil, lit torches, set fire everywhere, cut down when they met people, and killed people whenever they met, whether they were overseers or migrant workers.

Those who reacted late were killed on the spot, and those who reacted quickly could not run a few steps, and were also caught up and cut to the ground.

For a time, the sun never set, and the barracks were on fire everywhere. The fire borrowed the wind, the wind helped the fire, and those instruments were all made of wood, and all kinds of shavings were piled up everywhere, which was an accelerant, and suddenly the fire swept away, burning most of the instruments.

"Not good! Their goal is the siege machine! Quick, fight the fire! Concentrate your forces, ambulance equipment! When Gangtian heard the report, he suddenly realized.

Gangtian Chiqin led a large army and generals and went straight to Ouyang Zhongbu to kill. Ouyang Zhong led the cavalry, desperately setting fires, killing people everywhere, and longing to be separated by tens of millions.

Xing was not far away, and Xiang Wangshan saw through it, so he no longer wandered, desperately killing the army that never set, hoping to drag more enemy troops.

"Don't go alone! Fence me off! "Gangtian Chi commanded the army that the sun does not set to surround Ouyang Zhong.

Ouyang Zhong shouted, "Brothers, there is still half of the last burn, everyone rush forward with me, and fight to complete the task!" ”

During this period, there were also craftsmen who took the opportunity to set fire to siege equipment and rob and kill overseers.

"Dog's day, let Lao Tzu build something to attack our city! Don't! Burn, burn it all for me! ”

"Kill you shit, let you smoke me!"

The overseers didn't expect the craftsmen who usually swallowed their anger to resist and were caught off guard.

There are also migrant workers who directly take the opportunity to flee into the night and slip away.

Seeing that there were more and more enemy troops around, Hua Mantian was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out if he left too late, and shouted, "All soldiers, follow me!" He made a false move, threw out a hidden weapon casually, and hit the wild stone, the wild stone could not dodge, and he was hit by several darts, and screamed in pain, and left after hitting the horse.

Hua Mantian waved an iron rod and rushed straight towards Yanggu Pass.

"Surround me! Don't let them run! ”

Seeing this, Harada and others organized the soldiers to desperately surround it.

Xiang Wangshan, Xing Buyuan, and Hua Mantian led the soldiers, fighting and walking, and gradually approached Yanggu Pass.

At this time, lanterns have been hung high at the head of Yanggu Pass, illuminating the surroundings like day. Lead the way to the soldiers.

"Archer, shoot me! Cover the soldiers back to the city! Shen Rupeng saw the flowers in the city, ordered the soldiers to withdraw not far from the city, and immediately ordered to cover.

The archers had already prepared, and they shot with their bows and brushes, and for a moment the arrows rained down and shot overwhelmingly at the army on which the sun never sets.

"Oh my god!" The sun never set, the army did not expect to have such a hand, and for a time there were countless arrows, and the momentum of encirclement and pursuit suddenly decreased.

"It's now, rush!" Flowers are all over the place.

"Drop the drawbridge!"

Shen Rubin and Hua Mangu led thousands of soldiers out of the city to pick up Hua Mantian and others.

"Retreat! Withdraw! Harada couldn't catch up, so in order to avoid too many casualties, he had to order a retreat.

Here, Ouyang Zhong led all the soldiers, with the determination to die, still desperately destroying the equipment, some poured flower oil on their bodies, ignited the attack tower, and some desperately rushed to the side of the battleship to pour fire oil, seeing that they couldn't rush out, they laughed and lit the fire oil and were stabbed into a hedgehog. Some set themselves on fire, holding the sun and not setting the soldiers, and they died together. Some burned their horses with fire oil and went on a rampage.

Gangtian Chi saw that Ouyang Zhong and the others were crazy, and he was also shocked and retreated. Those soldiers who never let the sun set dare not get close.

"General! Almost! Let's kill it back! ”

Seeing that Hua Mantian and the others had retreated, some soldiers hurriedly shouted to Ouyang Zhong.

"Okay, let's go!" Ouyang Zhong shouted loudly and led his team to break through, only to see them turn their horses' heads and rush towards the raging fire, where there was no sun and no army. Although the fire was fierce, the war horse rushed quickly and passed through the sea of fire, and there was still a way to survive. Breaking through to other places, the sun never sets, the army is surrounded by water in three layers and three layers outside, and it is impossible to break through.

Ouyang Zhong pulled out a piece of burning wood, screamed and waved it and rushed towards the Sunless Army. Some threw the oil everywhere and then threw the torches out, and the ground suddenly burst into flames.

The other soldiers did the same, pulling out the burning wood, waving it and following it, whistling back.

How dare those soldiers who never set the sun dare to stop them, and they all give way.

"Shoot them for me!" Gangtian shouted with a hideous face.

Only then did the soldiers of the Sun Never Set Army come to their senses, and they all looked for bows and arrows to shoot at Ouyang Zhong and the others.

For a time, there were countless arrows that fell off the horse.

"The general retreats first! We break off. Hundreds of soldiers stopped, slashing their swords to block the arrows.

Ouyang Zhong said, "No! Let's go together! Today's plan is to disperse and break through, no matter where I go, it is my Eastern Holy Land! ”

"Okay, wherever I go, it's my Eastern Holy Land. Let's get back together someday! ”

All the soldiers no longer retreated to Yanggu Pass together, but broke into pieces and fled in all directions.

The archers of the Sun Never Set Army didn't know who to shoot, some no one shot them, and some dozens of people shot one person, which made Ouyang Zhongbu take advantage of the loophole, and most of them escaped because it was dark and the wind was high.

Gangtian looked at the majestic flames with his head scattered, and was so angry that he split two overseers in a row, "Give me a siege tomorrow!" ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince's anger! They burned siege towers and siege ships because they were afraid that we would use them. No, we can reinvent it, just take a little more time! If you attack by force, there will be a lot of casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses! Jia Baokui persuaded.

When Gangda Chi heard this, he gradually calmed down.

"Good! Just let them live a few more days! Gangtian Chi threw down the steel knife fiercely and said, "Order all the departments to find craftsmen tomorrow to cut down wood and step up reconstruction." All construction sites, strict precautions, heavy guards, no mistakes! ”

"No!"
